NICOLE

Earlier...

I'm in Caius' car, and he's driving me to the complex while I hug my knees to my chest and stare out the window.

Crazy bitch. I can't believe she slashed my tires! I know that it could've been worse, but I feel humiliated.

I should've never come here. I don't know what it is with me and saying no—I didn't even tell Roman that I was going out. Now, I'll have to tell him all about the interaction I've just had with Carmen, and I'm sure he'll be upset.

I am, too.

Dammit. ...
